I have as-builts for all of my underground. BUT, I will still dial 811. As a side, a 10" diameter pressure sewer was installed down my (gravel/dirt) public road to handle the Toyota Tech Center about 2 miles away. I checked with local utility about the exact location. They said within the road right-of-way. They claimed the right-of-way is 120' wide. I said nope! 66' right-of-way. Additionally I told them that the actual road is off center to my side of the right-of- way. Well, they tell me, the county WANTS the 120" I said tuff. My documents, recorded at the county, say 66'. They checked and I was right. I then told them that if that pipe goes inside my property line I will hire a backhoe to take it out. PERIOD! If the county wants that property, pay me. It would destroy a nice one acre building site and one acre here with natural gas and municiple water is about $80,000. This is the same county that a county road maintenance supervisor in 1990 said I had to fill in a 7" deep 200' long plowed field furrow as it was a danger to traffic. Ten years later I had to provide a ditch a long that same place when I built a paved private road just to the south. Now the last part. Around 2012 a contractor for the county was "cleaning" ditches and the county had 2 of their trucks to haul away the spoils. No you don't! That is my dirt, put it right over there. They did. Now I watched while they started cleaning and partially blocking the road with no flagger, cars were comming from both directions and one driver lost control, came through the ditch and rolled upside down in my yard. That stopped work and I'm glad that I did. They were digging too deep. Water would be standing in that ditch with every rain. The bottom of culvert that crossed the road 200' away would be 4" higher than of the ditch! I have other unrelated stories but for another time. It can almost be a full time job to stay ahead of these municiple idiots ps I just received an e-mail from our county sheriff basically saying we are now a sanctuary county. When is the next election?

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
